Nord Electro 2 Rack. No compromises with the Nord Electro 2 Rack! Just outstanding electromechanical sounds in a Rack Module.

Clavia's goal when developing the Nord Electro 2 was to create the best emulations of traditional electromechanical keyboard instruments on the market, and to make the instrument compact and lightweight. Nothing else. No brass banks, no orchestral sounds. No compromises. Just outstanding electromechanical keyboard sounds with true feel, from fast keyboard response to authentic sound.

Show full description »

The organ in the Electro 2 is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers a number of very innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound. The piano section comprises several carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments. As a bonus we also included an acoustic grand piano (concert model). The Electro 2 also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds.

The Electro 2 also features a very flexible effects section including a Rotary Speaker simulation out of the ordinary. Nord Electro 2 is available in three versions: the 5 octave Nord Electro 2 SixtyOne, the 6 octave Nord Electro 2 SeventyThree and the 19" rack version Nord Electro Rack 2. Both keyboard versions feature exclusive semiweighted waterfall keyboards and weigh less than 10 kgs each!

The organ in the Electro 2 is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound, for example:

  • A complex digital model of the original chorus and vibrato scanner.
  • Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each partial.
  • Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-amplifier which forms the "body" of the B-3 sound.
  • Simulation of the energy stealth on the tone wheels that results in the typical "compressed" sound.
  • Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original B3 design.

The piano section comprises five carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments: Rhodes Mk I Stage Piano, Rhodes Mk I Suitcase Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6 and the custom modified Clavia Electric Grand Model G. As a bonus we also included an acoustic Malmsjoe Grand Piano - in stereo! The Electro features a unique multi-sample playback, catching every nuance throughout the whole dynamic range. The Electro also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds.

The chassis of Nord Electro 2 is made out of roadworthy steel plate and comes with genuine wooden sides. Nord Electro 2 comes in three versions: Nord Electro 2 SixtyOne (61-key version), Nord Electro 2 SeventyThree (73-key version) and Nord Electro Rack 2 (19" rack version).

Polyphony

  • Full polyphony

9 electric drawbars with memory functionality

The drawbars of Nord Electro 2 are represented by up/down buttons and LED bar graphs instead of ordinary mechanical drawbars. This gives you a big advantage: when you change presets, the correct drawbar settings are shown immediately by the LEDs. In other words, no need for the regular ’trial and error’ method. It's very easy to get the hang of changing the drawbar settings in a natural way with the buttons.

Drawbar settings presets

  • 8 drawbar presets + a random preset function in ROM plus 9 user configurable drawbar settings.

Effects

  • Swell (the characteristic B-3 volume pedal function) - Percussion (2nd, 3rd, normal/soft, fast/slow). Chorus/Vibrato (C1, C2, C3/V1, V2, V3).

Keyboard Split

  • Makes it possible to play an organ sound with two different drawbar settings (Lower and Upper manuals) on the internal keyboard.

Dual manuals - MIDI Split

  • Nord Electro 2 is designed to support an extra MIDI keyboard in addition to its own. This makes it possible to play the Nord Electro 2 as a 2-manual (Lower and Upper manuals) organ with different drawbar settings for each manual.

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
